[PATCH] remove mount/umount uevents from superblock handling

The names of these events have been confusing from the beginning
on, as they have been more like claim/release events. We needed these
events for noticing HAL if storage devices have been mounted.

Thanks to Al, we have the proper solution now and can poll()
/proc/mounts instead to get notfied about mount tree changes.
